Why Evolution Vs. Creationism Isn't a Big Deal



When I first came upon the idea that light travels at the same speed no matter how fast you are uniformly traveling, I thought it was complete nonsense.  Worse than I thought the study of cardinality was.  Only this time, there was hard scientific evidence that this constant observed speed of light was true.  It wasn't just a thought in someone's mind. 


As futile as the task seemed, I sought to disprove the evidence for light's constant speed for a good solid amount of time before gradually coming to accept the truth of the evidence through personal library book research.  But even though I accept it now, and special relativity was derived to explain how it can happen, it still shocks me to no end.  And since then even crazier scientific truths have been found that still haven't been explained from what I've been told. 


The double slit experiment with electrons comes to mind.  You want to talk about tough to explain natural phenomena?  That's it right there.  That is much, much crazier than BOTH evolution AND creationism being 100% true.  No matter how much those two ideas contradict each other, they still don't contradict each other as much as the one observation made in the double slit experiment with electrons contradicts itself.  And no one, including me, has any reason to question the validity of the experiment.  It's true, true, true as something can be.  But it makes less sense than any fantasy the human mind can create. 


So if reality is capable of contradicting itself that much, evolutionism and creationism being able to coexist in the realm of truth is nothing in comparison.
